Low and slow, this beautiful quartet evokes images of the overcast skies and chilly winds of summer’s departure and winter’s approach. Gentle articulations keep the introspective mood, and all parts take turns as the lead voice. The composer helpfully uses “Solo/Soli” and “ord.”(=ordinary) instructions to tell the players when they are prominent and when they are background. This piece is accessible to intermediate players and is not very technically demanding – but there are long notes and phrases in all parts, so good breathing is essential. Score and parts are provided.
